Add to that requirements for longer software support. At least for security patches.

Is there any actual benefit for so much RAM in a phone? Outside of a higher number for marketing and increasing the price? And does this also increase power consumption or is there any benefit to more RAM that counteracts that?

Personally i am still waiting for phones to become proper desktop replacements, in which case i'd maybe see more use in this. They already have more than enough performance for the average user, since 9/10 people probably just browse the web and do some general office work.

Vor allem erscheint mir das halt als kein Thema bei dem man von heute auf morgen wechselt. Hier wird die Wende als"schleppend" bezeichnet, aber ich habe absolut keinen Vergleich. Die letzte Umfrage war 2017: Wenn auf die letzten 6 Jahre verteilt sind, dann ist das vielleicht langsam. Wenn sie vor allem durch Einführung des Deutschlandtickets verursacht sind, dann wirkt das doch recht schnell für mich.

Nach so kurzer Zeit irgendwelche großen Schlüsse ziehen zu wollen erscheint mir aber generell etwas voreilig. Die Leute werden nicht einfach so von heute auf morgen ihr Auto verkaufen, wenn sie schon eines haben. Ich sehe den Wechsel viel eher, wenn z.B. ein Neukauf oder Umzug ansteht.

Personally I do miss Reddit. Mostly because it was just so convenient: easy to use and you got active communities for basically anything you'd want.

However quiting it so instantly has shown me how reliant I was on it to serve as a single gateway to information on the internet.

So I guess as a consequence I'll try to stick around here (find instances for my interests), but also diversify my online presence a bit more. Maybe look at some specific forums and browse a few more websites directly

Doesn't matter how often you see scenes like ride of the rohirrim, they remain just as epic as they were the first time.

Another issue with YouTube is that media, especially video is vastly more resource demanding than anything mostly text based.

With something like Twitter or Reddit (as long as you don't directly host all media) the quality and importance of each post relative to it's resources needed don't really matter that much.

Especially with high bitrate video footage on the other hand it does matter. So having a drive for profit somewhere in the chain does in someway help shape the system to be viable financially.

Bin kein Experte auf dem Gebiet, aber wenn ich mir den Wikipedia Artikel zum Budapest Memorandum anschaue, dann sehe ich da schon einen deutlichen Unterschied. Es scheint ja sogar generell in Frage zu stehen ob sich daraus überhaut rechtliche Verpflichtungen ableiten lassen.

Punkte 1-3 und 5 Zielen nur darauf ab, dass die Unterzeichner selbst nicht gegen die Ukraine vorgehen. Nummer 6 ist nur dazu da eventuelle Unklarheiten zu klären und wirkt mir eh so schwammig, dass er faktisch wertlos (es ist nicht geregelt was bei unterschiedlichen Auslegungen geschieht).

Nur Punk 4 hat mit der Verteidigung gegenüber einem Dritten zu tun. Aber tritt anscheinend nur in Kraft, wenn Atomwaffen auch tatsächlich genutzt werden. Was ja zum Glück bis jetzt nicht der Fall ist.

Ich weiß jetzt nicht wie ein Schutz nach Israel-Modell im Einzelnen aussähe, aber ich gehe schwer davon aus, dass dieser sehrviel weitreichender wäre.

I really feel like that instead of just focusing on running a lean and efficient site, perfecting the fundamentals, and outsourcing the other stuff to their users (third party apps, content creation, the bulk of moderation). They've truly become bloated trying to expand.

I guess this was ultimatively due to them taking on venture capital and thus having the pressure for rapid growth and profitability. They really want to transform themself into a social media site, gathering as much user data as possible and keeping them on their site as long as possible. All with the goal to be able to sell more adds. Which also means pushing out unmarketable content.

Honestly in my personal experience weight loss is like 90% diet. It simply is much easier to eat less compared to how much it takes to burn those consumed calories. General fitness and feeling better through that is imo more where exercise comes into play. So I'll split my answer into two parts.

Building sustainable habits is how you achieve your goal

1kg of fat is around 7700 calories. There are a ton of different diets and ways to lose weight. It's probably very subjective which ones work best for a person. But in the end they all come down to reducing consumed calories.

For me it was basically easiest to adjust the further away from eating the change happened. So adjusting what/how much I buy. And then the portion sizes being cooked. Once it's actually on the table/plate it becomes much harder for me.

But others might be different and intermittent fasting or something completely different will work.

As far as exercise goes again the best one is the one you enjoy and thus actually stick with doing regularly.

For stamina I ended up with running (stared with the couch to 5k program), but others might prefer something like cycling.

For strength just having a pair of dumbbells laying around (later added a bench) got me started since I preferred that over other types of exercise. There are plenty of basic routines e.g. on YouTube. I don't really think especially which one you pick as long as you start.

Longest i've ever gotten out of a pair was around 1600km on a pair of triumph 18. Admittedly those were used a bit too long, although having a rotation helped. At the end i just used them for occasional shorter slow runs.

On average l try to get at least 1000km+ out of each pair.

But ghosts are definitely known for good durability

You make a good distinction. In my opinion this question can be answered in two ways:

• A movie that holds up being just as good on a rewatch.

• Movies where you either pick up on clues/details on further rewatches once you know the full movie. Or that are just so dense/layered that you just can't catch everyrhing the first time you watch it

Ich glaube letztendlich wird Reddit weiter existieren und noch lange der Standard sein, aber es wird eine permanente Verschlechterung der Qualität geben.

Mit dem Wachstum der Nutzerzahlen hat in /r/all und den großen subs schon seit langem die Qualität der Posts mehr und mehr abgenommen. Aber das hat die kleineren Nischen-subs wenig berührt.

Und diese sind denke ich die einzig schwer zu replizierende Eigenschaft von Reddit. Aggregatorten für memes, qualitativ mittelmäßige Nachrichten und belangloses werden letztlich keinen Moat haben und sind sehr viel leichter zu ersetzten wenn irgendwann alternativen auftauchen ,

Also it's not like most people's wealth (if they even have any) is liquid either. Most is probably tied up in retirement accounts, real estate, or funds for unforseen circumstances that you wouldn't touch for ordinary needs.

Elon buying Twitter is really an outlier to begin with, since otherwise there are basically no single expenses that would require that amount of funds to be liquid.

Especially with the mentioned loans, there really is more than enough liquidity available to buy anything you'd ever want.

Also ich würde mir das so erklären, dass der Markt in seiner Idealform in der Realität einfach nicht existiert.

Der Konsument ist nicht komplett rational und wechselt sofort weg von gewohnten Produkt, es gibt gewisse lock-in Effekte die einen schnellen Wechsel verhindern (bei allen Parteien), die Kräfte sind nicht immer ausgeglichen auf beiden Seiten und auch ohne direkte Absprachen kann es zu gemeinsamen Preisänderungen kommen.

Ich kann mir generell z.b. zwei unterschiedliche Szenarien vorstellen wie es zu den erhöhten Preisen kommt:

Entweder die Preise wurden erst mit gutem Grund erhöht und jetzt bei wieder gesunkenen Kosten nicht wieder gesenkt. Da sehe ich dann vor allem einen gewissen Trägheitseffekt am Werk. Nach dem Motto warum den Preis senken solange es keine Notwendigkeit gibt (das sieht man finde ich oft gut bei Handyverträgen).

Oder das hohe Inflationsniveau wurde dazu genutzt Preissteigerungen verdeckt und ohne Notwendigkeit durchzuführen. Hier bleibt dann eventuell der psychologische Effekt beim Konsumenten aus die Preiserhöhung "abzustrafen" weil er im Zuge genereller Inflation nicht wissen kann ob die Ursache gier oder Notwendigkeit ist.

Generell gibt es wenn ein Konkurrent die Preise erhöht für Unternehmen wahrscheinlich zwei Optionen. Entweder man erhöht sie selbst (eventuell etwas weniger) und freut sich über einfachen Gewinn oder man versucht im Preiskampf mehr Marktanteil zu gewinnen (was unter anderem Investitionen benötigt und sicher auch riskant ist). Scheint mir als ob in vielen Bereichen ersteres gewählt wurde und es so relativ einfach zu gemeinsamen Preisänderungen kommen kann ohne direkte Absprachen.

Eine andere Frage wäre denke ich auch noch ob man sagt, dass der Markt hier langfristig versagt. Oder ob man eher diese Übergangszeit in der leistungslose zusätzliche Gewinne abgeschöpft werden bekämpfen will. Ich denke es geht eher um letzteres.

that will say far more about redditors themselves than spez

Disagree with that. Unless there is a huge mob storming their headquarters I don't see how you could take actions of single individuals (should they happen) as just what they are. And generalise that to apply to everyone. The Reddit community is way to large and diversified for that.

I see the same mistake regularly being made for example when tweets by random people are being used to support certain takes in the news. Realistically you can probably find tweets to support any view on any topic. Their existence doesn't really prove anything.

You can't just draw conclusions from individual data points to larger sets, unless you have a representative sample

Looking at the budget i wonder if actually canning it was ever on the table.

Start with a relatively short page turner.

Definitely agree with this advice. Much better to start with something that you can see yourself finishing rather quickly, then starting a huge epic. So maybe something lighter, faster paced and possibly funny. Maybe in the range of 100-150 pages?

Another suggestion i'd make is to start with a book from your favorite genre. Doesn't have to be based on past books, but maybe also current tv shows or movies.

As an example for me that would be sci-fi. So in that case something like "All Systems Red" (first book in the murderbot series) could be fun. Or maybe a short story collection like "i, robot" or "Stories of Your Life and Others" that allows to read one story at a time. "World war Z" would also be an interesting mix of the two, since it has an overarching narrative but is structured in seperate story lines.

The store owner and only salesman is (or claims to be) an expert in biomechanics

Now THAT i most certainly doubt. If he was truly an expert in this field he wouldn't work as a salesman in a shop like that. He'll certainly be better in recommending shoes that fit well, but tbh this seems rather easy since your average hobby runner won't have demanding needs. And in that case you can just give them your run of the mill daily trainer like the brooks ghost or maybe nike pegasus (if they like it slightly narrower) and they'll be content.

Or you say they pronate and give them a stability shoe like the Asics Kayano/gt-2000. Many people pronate and i imagine that many would be be just fine with neutral shoes (i got a gt2000 as my first shoe in a shop, have bought neutral shoes online ever since). At least as long as they avoid particularly unstable shoes with very soft midfoams (NB rebel v1, Asics Novablast v1 for example)

Is this a bogus claim from his side, or do you find that the variance between pairs of the same exact model is non-negligible?

That i very much doubt, although i admitteldy have varied my shoes quite a bit. The only time i've had more or less identical shoes were with a pair of saucony ride 13 and 14 (which outside minor changes in the upper are the same) and after correct laceing they were an instant drop in replacement. I've also had no issues to swap instantly within the brand with their Triumph, Kinvara and Speed. The speed being shaped a bit differently due to being geared towards racing, but still same size and fitting well.

What i have found is that at least EU sizing between brands varies quite a bit. But that can be mitigated by looking at either the direct cm measurment provided or the JPN sizing (which represents cm, not the chinese ones wich is also cm but measured a bit differently). That means for example a Puma velocity nitro in EU46 is like 0.5cm longer than a EU46 saucony ride.

Additionally some brands have certain trends, for example Altra is know for their wide toeboxes or Nike runs on the narrow side.

FWIW, he’s identified that I pronate more on the right side than left, and that my hip is a bit stiff on the left leading to increased risk of injuries due the lack of flexibility. In both cases he has ended up with stability shoes for me.

I can definitely see people having imbalances. But the longterm fix for that for the most part doesn't seem to be in just getting stability shoes, but rather doing some specific strength/flexibility training to remedy those weaknesses.

You could also try toe socks. I really like my injinji socks and they definitely help.

Although I have found the very thin lightweight running model to not be as durable as I'd like it to be. The trail ones are great though and my favorite anyways.

Never seen that here in Germany. Especially considering drinks are usually what the restaurant is making the majority of profit from.

The only place where we do bring something ourself are "Biergärten" (beer gardens) where you can bring your own food, but buy drinks (unsurprisingly mostly beer). Although they also sell some food and often have a section that is more like a normal restaurant where you order both.
